These policies and processes apply to all faculty teaching courses through CSU Online.

Retroactive Grade Changes

If you file an incomplete grade for a student or incorrectly enter a grade, as the instructor, you will need to complete the Grade Change Form. Once the form has been completed you will need to forward it to the appropriate department by mail for signatures. As soon as the department head has signed the form, the Grade Change Forms are to be hand carried to the Records Office to protect both the department's and student's academic integrity. For instructors who are off-campus, please work your department to receive assistance in the hand delivery process.

CSU Online staff have Grade Change Forms on file; if you need forms we are happy to mail them to you.
